UOttawa Women's Softball 2011

from Scott Searle

The UOttawa Womens team is thrilled to announce their 2011 roster. The roster includes 5 returning athletes from 2010 and 9 new faces. The team looks to be strong in the circle with the addition of the Ontario Midget MVP Jean Cardona from Pembroke, Ontario. The team also added pitchers Jacqui Timperio, Michelle Miller and welcomes back 6th year veteran Jillian Taylor who is studying for her Masters in Arts and Education.

The Gee-Gees will continue their tradition of having excellent catchers with a trifecta of elite athletes behind the plate. Gee-Gee power hitter Taylor Rogalsky is returning to the team after a summer leading her Napanee Express to a 4th place finish at Provincials before being picked up by the Bramalea Slam for the Junior Nationals. The team also adds heavily recruited Ottawa native, Grace Lonergan who played with the Mississauga North Tigers before being picked up by the Brampton Blazers for the Canadian Championships in Winnipeg. The team also added Chelsea Moran who competed on behalf of team Quebec at the Midget National Championships.
The outfield sees the return of Stephanie Miller and Elyssa Dobson who were stars for the garnet and grey in their rookie season. Joining them in the outfield will be Mary Tanos who is fresh off leading the Scarborough Sting Rays to the Eastern Canadian Championships in PEI. Three more first year players, speedsters Isabelle Pilon, Michelle Miller and Jaqui Timperio round out the outfield.

The infield will see some changes with transfer student Andrea Nelson playing SS while Grace Lonergan and Taylor Rogalsky will platoon between catcher and first base. Nadine D’entremount and Stephanie Finan complete the roster. Nadine competed for the Province of Quebec at the Midget Nationals while Stephanie represented Ontario at the Junior Women’s championships with the Bramalea Slam. Bramalea had a strong UOttawa contingent as she was joined by Taylor Rogalsky and Elyssa Dobson. This year marked a high water mark for the Gee-Gees as they sent 6 athletes to Canadian Championships (3 Midget, 3 Junior), as well as 2 to the Eastern Canadian Championships. The team will start their season at home on September 10th in Quyon at 3 and 5 to chase some wins of their own.

The coaching staff is thrilled to announce a number of additions as we added Peak Performance specialist Ray Perras, and 2008 Olympian Robin Mackin as a pitching coach. Robin is currently studying medicine at the University of Ottawa after finishing her degree in pre-med at Fresno State and Nebraska. During her athletic career Robin was named both an Academic and Athletic All-American. Local softball star Jenny Allen returns to the team as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist in addition to working with the infielders, and Paul Sauve returns to work with the catchers while Scott Searle remains the teams Head Coach.

Be sure to follow the team as they march toward the Provincial Championships in London.
